Animadverting upon such judgment of the lower Court, they preferred C.A.Nos.17, 20 and 29 of 2005 and C.A.No.16, 19 and 30 of 2005 respectively and the appellate Court acquitted A1 and A3, however, confirmed the conviction and sentence imposed on A2, who preferred these revisions on various grounds, the gist and kernel of them would run thus:\n<\/p>\n<p>\tBoth the Courts below failed to take into consideration the reality, but delivered the judgments on assumption and presumption and against the law.  Their judgments are perverse and emerged due to non-application of law.  The appellate Court after acquitting A1 and A3 was not justified in confirming the conviction as against A2. The appellate Court held that the offence as against A1 and A3 was not proved and in such a case, the same view should have been applied in respect of A2 also.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t4. Despite printing the name of the learned counsel for the revision petitioner, none appeared.  Heard the learned Government Advocate (crl.side).\n<\/p>\n<p>\t5. The point for consideration is as to whether there is any perversity or non-application of law in recording the conviction and imposing the sentence as against A2?\n<\/p>\n<p>\t6. The gist and kernel, the pith and marrow of the prosecution case is that A1 to A3 had the criminal intention to cheat the Syndicate Bank and accordingly they had stolen two cheques bearing Cheque Nos.578671 and 578695 from the Syndicate Bank Extension Counter within the campus of Velankanni Church and filled up those two cheques for a sum of Rs.2,46,000\/- and Rs.1,23,000\/- respectively, and deposited the same, with the Indian Bank, Nagore Branch, where A2 had his savings account, on 17.08.2001 and 28.08.2001 respectively and accordingly, those two cheques were encashed by A2.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t7. A plain reading of the judgments of the appellate Court as well as the trial Court would clearly evince and evidence, express and expatiate that A2 is the account holder in the Indian Bank, Nagore Branch and only in his account those two stolen cheques were deposited for collection and accordingly he only withdrew those amounts and as such, it is crystal clear that A2 is the beneficiary and as such, as per Sections 105 and 106 of the Indian Evidence Act, the burden was on him to show that he is not a culprit, but he would simply plead as though he is innocent.  No man having head over shoulder would ever be able to digest the theory of the revision petitioner.  As such, the trial Court as well as the appellate Court appropriately and apparently, correctly and convincingly, found him guilty of the various offences with which he was charged and accordingly, he was convicted,  warranting no interference by this Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t8. There is no assumption and presumption on the part of both the Courts below in convicting A2.  This is a clear case in which A2 is beyond all reasonable doubt the culprit and in such a case, I could see no perversity or non-application of law in the judgments of both the Courts below.  Regarding sentence aspect is concerned, at the most he has to undergo substantive sentence of six months imprisonment, which is certainly in commensurate with the offence committed by him and even I would say that such sentence is on the lower side in the wake of the grave nature of criminal act perpetrated by him.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tIn the result, this criminal revision case is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<pre>gms\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t27.07.2009\nIndex   : Yes\/No\nInternet: Yes\/No\nTo\n1.
